Project Breathless is an overwhelming success!

In February I launched my crowdfunding project 'Breathless' to raise money to allow me to train physical and mental abilities to peak performance for the World Championships in June, and travel to the competition. The project reached it's initial target early on and went on to raise a total of £2,735. This will help cover my training for the whole year and allow me to attend one or two extra competitions. Thank you to all who supported me by pledging or sharing the project link.

Wild card entry for AIDA pool World Championships

I've gained automatic entry to the next pool Freedive World Championships in Belgrade this summer. This means I don't need to qualify for representing the UK, but I will still be part of a strong UK team heading to Serbia. Athletes ranking in the top 10 in 2014 all received wild cards and as I ranked 4th in both Dynamic and Dynamic No Fins I'm straight on the In List. I can't wait!

New National Record in Dynamic with fins

On Saturday 29th November 2014 Rebecca extended her UK record in Dynamic apnea (with monofin) to 186m in Stockport at Life Leisure Grand Central swimming pool. This was part a competition organised by Steve Millard of Apneists UK and supported by the British Freediving Association. The judge was Rolf Wiberg. Many thanks to everyone who helped out on the day. Click here for more details of the event.Photo courtesy of Frogfish Photography

Rebecca is...UK Pool Freedive Champion!

On 22 - 23 March 2014 I competed at the Great Northern pool freediving championships in Liverpool. It's an international event where the best UK divers compete alongside international athletes. I not only extended my Dynamic No Fins national record to 145m (that's almost 6 lengths of a 25m pool), I also won the overall female prize for the event and UK champion title! As always, I say that yoga had a big part to play in my success - you can read more in my blog here...Photo courtesy of Daan Verhoeven

OM Yoga Magazine article

In December OM Yoga magazine published my article on breathing, yoga and freediving. Read it here... page one, page two."Breathing is at the heart of yoga, so those regularly practising yoga will have a good awareness of how they breathe and how this affects their physical and mental wellbeing. But how well do you know yourself in the pause between breaths?"
